Prologue

After you finish watching the opening cutscene, you're placed in Lightning's shoes and tasked with defeating a Chaos Bahamut. As you flee the beast on horseback, simply select Auto-Battle repeatedly to survive the sequence.

After you've caused enough damage you'll enter your first Cinematic Action of the game. Anyone familiar with the Quick Time Events of Shenmue, Resident Evil 4, or God of War should have no problem following along to the simple button prompts. Once the battle against Chaos Bahamut wraps off, Lightning engages in another series of QTE's against Caius.

Eventually a cinematic will engage, marking the enigmatic arrival of Noel into the world of Valhalla. Win yet another round against the Chaos Bahamut by choosing Auto-Battle and healing when necessary. Once you're victorious, all hell breaks loose and Lightning sends Noel through a wormhole, signaling the end of the Prologue.
